I look for roles that show women as independent, informed, and free to make their own decisions.

It's very easy to fall in love when things are great, but the way to really fall in love is when things aren't great.

As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.

For me, my storyline [in Big Little Lies] is very complicated and nuanced. [The script] was so beautifully written. It was very, very easy to play. ... I think one of the scenes is almost eight minutes.

I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.

I think if you have someone to love and someone who loves you, that's the greatest beauty secret.

I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
